Many people consider egg yolk to be a harmful product because of its cholesterol content.

However, nutritionists strongly recommend eating eggs whole.

What is healthier in eggs - yolk or white?

You might be surprised to learn that egg whites contain less protein than yolks.

The yolk is 16% protein, while the white is 90% water.

Also, the protein is inferior to the yolk in terms of the content of useful substances. Yes, the yolk has more fat, but it also has more vitamins.

That's why nutrition experts recommend eating eggs whole.

Of course, you need to remember about contraindications. People with allergies, protein intolerance and autoimmune diseases should not eat eggs.

People with diabetes can eat no more than three to five eggs a week. Moreover, for this category of people, the protein is still more useful than the yolk.
